Originally, I didn't work to earn work points, but dug wild vegetables every day and made a living by doing some random things outside. In addition to the five-dollar pension, the food I ate was really rough, just enough to avoid starvation.
Although she has a system mall where she can buy a lot of food, she can also use the items she won earlier in the lottery.
But the problem is that she lives in this era, has no proper income, and eats with her sister to get fat...
It just doesn't make sense.
"You have to study, you have to find a man, and you have to earn money. Should you find a job, or the so-called black market?"
Thinking about the countless period novels I have read in modern times, I think I can slowly start some business in 1975, right?
In fact, according to her understanding of the times, business was not so tight at that time.
But the problem arises again. If she does business, she still cannot use her money openly.
"I'd better go into the city first to understand the situation. Whether I go to the black market to exchange or find other ways, I have to go out to find out."
After making the decision, I hurried to the city.
Fortunately, the village is only half an hour away from the city, and the road is relatively flat, not a hilly area.
Before reaching the city, I saw a woman carrying a basket. After looking around, she quickly went into the woods ahead.
Hey, I’m lucky, I accidentally stumbled upon a trading place?
Thinking of this, she quickly jogged to catch up.
The woman turned around and saw her, hesitated for a moment, and then quickened her pace.
Qianshui was also extremely fast, and he circled around a few times without being thrown away.
Soon the woman arrived at a forest. There was a lookout guarding the front. The woman said something to him and he looked at her.
Qianshui was not panicked, he just smiled and walked forward quickly.
"Brother, I want to sell some things. Here are the eggs and meat I brought."
He pretended to take something out of a small broken basket, but actually took out meat and eggs from space. The gatekeeper and the woman's eyes lit up.
"There's meat? There's actually meat, and fresh meat at that? This big fat is pretty good."
The woman didn't want to let go of the meat after touching it.
The gatekeeper also stared at the piece of meat.
"How do you sell it?"
Qianshui was in a dilemma.
She doesn't know the market situation.
"Girl, your meat looks fresh. I'll give you one yuan per pound. What if you don't have a ticket? This is the real price. If my wife hadn't given birth, I really wouldn't have been able to bear to buy this."
The woman looked at her eagerly.
The shrewd housewife could name a price of one dollar, so this meat seemed to be really to her liking. In fact, it was mostly fat leftover from the pig in her space.
Neither she nor the system delivery person likes such fat and plump meat.
Unexpectedly, in the 1970s, fatty meat was a hot commodity.
"It's just a piece of meat, is there any more?"
The gatekeeper looked at the piece of meat greedily, he also wanted something as fat as this.
"There's one more piece. Auntie, this piece of meat weighs three pounds. If you don't want it, you can give some to this big brother."
She is now very familiar with weight. There is no other way. She is transformed by the system kitchen every day. When cooking or frying, the amount is very important.
Now she has already practiced it and knows exactly how much something is just by holding it in her hand.
The woman was used to carrying things, so she weighed it to make sure it was just enough.
"I want them all, Dachen. You can buy the other piece for this girl."
"Okay."
Qianshui didn't bargain any more and sold the two pieces of meat for one dollar. He also successfully got permission to enter the transaction.
"Girl, if you have something good in the future, just bring it to me in Dachen. With us keeping watch, this place is still very safe."
Qianshui looked around. How could it not be safe? Unless a hundred people came to arrest the man, who could catch him in such a scattered forest?
"Okay, uncle, I'll go in and sell the eggs."
She earned a total of five dollars from selling the meat, and she didn't know the exact market price of eggs.
However, just as she brought the eggs in, some people who had seen them trading at the door earlier came over. One lady saw that the eggs in her basket were big and clean, so she picked them up and wouldn't let go.
"These eggs are good. They're 7 cents each at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll give you 10 cents each. Girl, I'll take all the eggs you have."
The fact that the auntie can report it so clearly shows that this is the market situation.
Qianshui thought about it and nodded decisively.
After the transaction was completed, I found that many people had withdrawn the money. Almost everyone took action as soon as someone set their sights on it.
Maybe this is also because of the black market? Otherwise, why would they be so straightforward? After all, if they keep silent for too long, who knows if it will cause trouble.
After selling the goods in his hands, Qianshui went to the market.
To be honest, there is really nothing interesting to see in the streets these days. There are only some homemade eggs, rice, coarse flour, bean flour and so on.
There are really few new things.
"Mother, one is three yuan, and you need an industrial ticket."
"I have it. I have an industrial ticket. Give me this chicken."
Looking at the couple doing the deal next to him, and the woman with the veil on her face, even though she lowered her voice, Qianshui could still tell that she was very young.
When she looked over, the young woman stared at her warily.
Qianshui quickly looked away, forgetting that this was a black market and one couldn't look at others carelessly.
It's a rare opportunity to come here, and considering that you need tickets to buy things in this era, Qianshui decided to take out some more things to sell.
This time, she also had to exchange some industrial tickets, cloth tickets and so on.
After all, that house really lacks everything.
Especially the sisters' clothes. Looking at her in red, if you didn't know her, you would think she was a bride.
Taking advantage of the cover of the woods, Qianshui took a look and exchanged some discounted red bean cakes from the space.
It's not that I don't want to use better pastries, but in this day and age, using something too good might just cause a stir. Also, the price-performance ratio isn't very good.
For this pile of red bean cakes weighing more than ten pounds, I only used three points after the discount because they were about to expire.
As soon as the pastries were put out, they attracted a lot of attention.
The woman who had been glaring at her just now walked a little further away and was attracted by her red bean cakes again. She turned her head and looked at the cakes in surprise.
“How much do you sell this for?”
"Well, I don't know the exact price, how about you give me what you think is the price?"
People of this era were relatively simple. She didn't know the specific market conditions, but she was clear about the approximate market price, so she let the other party pay.
After all, she is really a newbie in the black market.
"I think your ingredients are good. How about charging 50 cents a pound if you have a ticket, and 70 cents a pound if you don't? That's the price of the glutinous rice noodles at the supply and marketing cooperative."
